salary for lieutenant Governor.

The Assembly Committee on Constitu-
tioDal Amendments last evening con-
sidered Brierly's amendment, prescribing
the duties of the Lieutenant Governor, and
making the position salaried one. The
bill makes it the duty of that official 10
visit all the public institutions supported
by the State; to ascertain how and for
what purposes the appropriations are ex-
pended, ETC., and to report to the Governor
and the Legislature. For these services he
is to have his travelling expenses paid. 1t
also fixes his salary at 81 900 per annum,
instead Of the per diem az present allowed.
The object is to do away with the so-called
iunketings by legislative committees dur
ing the session of the Legislature, and thus
cut of one of the chief avenues of State
expenditure. 1t is said that the ex-
penses of these travelling committees
have already amounted to some 81, eco dur
ing the present session. 1t is argued that
the visits of these committees are anticipa-
ted by telegraph, and when they reach
these public institutions they are usually
found in apple-pie order, whereas if the
Northumberland were to drop. into
them unexpectedly a better idea of their
daily management could be had. The
committee last evening amended the bill
SO as TO provide that, in the event OF a
vacancy occurring in the Office of Lieuten-
ant-Goyernor the President pro tenn. of the
Senate, or his successor, shall perform the
duties and receive the salary Of Lieutenant
Governor With these as the chief pro-
visions of the bill Cor resolution) the COM
mittee decided to report the bill favorably.

An A,,ered Cure for CONSUMPTION

A novel method of treating patients SUI
fering from phthisis is described in the cur
rent number of the Medical Record twas
devised by a French physician, DR.. Ber-
econ of Lyons, who has been applying it
for two years to cases ofchronic pulmonary
and throat disease The results are said to
be remarkable. In acute general phthisis
there has been an arrest of the progress OF
the disease and cure in few months. In
advanced consumption marked improve
ment of symptoms is rapidly secured, night
sweats ceasing and the cough becoming
less harassing. Two hundred cases have
been treated with singular success by DR..
Bergeon in Lyons. where the climate IS
unfavorable for consumptives. His method
has been introduced in the hospitals there
and in Paris, and the medical authorities
are fayorably impressed with it.
The treatment consists of daily injections
by enema of medicated gases. Carbonic-
acid gas. when introduced into the system
by this method is found to be harmless
and painless. Sulphurated hydrogen is
mingled with it, the entire structure OF the
lungs is permeated by the medicated gas,
and remarkable curative effo!s are OBJ
served. The carbcnie-acid gas is practically
inert when taken up by the veins of the
iptestines, but the sulphurous gas reaches
every particle of diseased tissue in the
lungs and throat. and is eliminated from
the system in the process of expiration
The volume of gas used is very large. Al
| the outset single liter tsixiy-one cubic
inches. or about two pipts) is introduced
but the quantity is rapidly increased to ter

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The following well-timed protest was
Yesterday presented to every legislator
" The undersigned, representing the Pa
cific Coast Conference of Unitarian and
other Christian Churches, most respect
fully protest against the passage of an Act
now before your legislative body, and
favorably reported on by the Committee on
Public Morals, designed TO license and le-
galize public and promiscuous gambling.
We believe that the enactment of such a
law would be highly detrimental to the
public morals, expose our California COM
munities to the just censure of the civilized
world, greatly increase among US the
special and national sin of gambling, and
promote general spirit of reck lessness and
dishonesty in business and social circles.
Our views upon this subject are well set
forth in the accompanying pamphlet, by
one of our number, on The Ethics of
Gambling, to which we respectfully call
your attention" Signed by Horatio Steb-
bins, Charles A. Murdoch, NJ A Luce. T.
L. Eliot, Charles w. Wendte, Committee
Accompanying the protest was a pamph-
let by Rev. Thomas l.. Eliot, entitled,
THE Ethics of Gambling" This pamphlet
is No of series entitled. Modern Re-
ligious Thought 1t is refreshing to learn
that at least one organized body of citizens
feels concern enough about this matter of
iegalizing the worst of vices. to enter an
emphatic protest against a bill before the
Legislature to give municipalities power to
issue licenses for gambling games.

WHEN A MAN SHOULD KNOW HIMsELF.-
As man advances in years he ought to
know himself so much better from the va
rious experiments he has tried from time
to time that he need not try any or many
more. 1t is all very well for Nahum to
buy violin when he is seventeen and go
to singing school the same winter, and in
the spring to find some modelling clay and
see if he is not meant for sculptor, and so
with every six months to test himself on
one side or another, till he finds out
whether he is meant to be another Scion,
or Cesar, or Aurelius, or Michael Angelo,
or Mendelssohn, or Tennyson. Nay, the
boy ought to try such experiments till
he has found out what he can do and what
he cannot do. But he is not to keep on
trying them forever. He ought TO know
quite well by the time he Is twenty-five
what is the range of his abilities and after
that time to exercise himself on the things
for which he has been sent into the world.
Until he is twenty-five he is finding out
what his genius is. After he is twenty-five
he is making use of his discovery-Rel.

RED-HEADED STATESMEN FROM CoLoRA-
DO" Is there anything in the constitution
or bylaws of Colorado" said statesman
to-day, that requires the Representative
of that State in Congress TO have red hair ?
l know that the word Colorado means red,
and have often wondered, when l have
seen Symes, whether there wasn't some
such provision. At least, the precedent is
respected, if it is not established in law. And
there is another curious thing about it. The
heads of Colorado Congressman keep get
ting redder and redder There was Chat
fee, he was delegate. The hair on his
head before it turned gray and fell out was
sandy, with red lights in it. like an opal.
Then came Thomas Patterson. whose caput
was auburn, and following in his footsteps
was the lurid Belford, whose hair was the
tint of Philadelphia pressed brick. Then,
if you will take glance at1Symes, you will
notice that scarlet geranium would look
dull beside his scalp. His hair is about the
color of prairie fire. / wonder where
they will find redder-headed man to sue
coed him. The people of Colorado will
have to keep Symes in or break the record. y

MRS VANDERBILT's BEAUTIFUL NECK
LAcE.-Tbere is, new opera and a new
necklace for the fashionable people to see
this week. The opera was Merlin and it
was well enough in its way. The triumph
ant article was the famous string of pearls
which had once belonged to the Empress
Eugene and been worn by her in the days
Of the French monarchy. Even in those
days of royal glitter in Paris the jeweled
thing shone so brightly as to dazzle be-
holders accustomed to lavish adornments.
1t consists of BAG oriental pearls set in a
gold chain. and twas valued then at about
$50 600. Napoleon's widow put it into 9
safe-deposit vault in Paris on her retire
ment to Chiselhurst. and there it lay until
the recent sale of her useless effects. Wm.
X Vanderbilt and his wife were in the
French capital and they purchased it at
$4,000. They bought other things from
the Eugene collection-mostly household
embellishments-and these will be dis
closed at next weeks reopening of the
Fifth-ayenue residence But Mrs. Willie
Vanderbilt put on the necklace for the OPP
era. 1t was worn across the top of her
head, thence down the back of her couture
TO her neck, which it encircled. with
enough left to hang down on her bosom
Not singer on the stage, and hardly 9
danseuse, commanded so many glasses as
did Mr.. Vanderbilt and her necklace

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from pro-
prietary medicines. no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as we'll as reslev-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with GREEN'S Au-
gust F7oscer and Boschee's German Syrup, as
the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies, thereby
giving one-fifth more medicine in the 10
cent size. The august Flotcer for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Scrip for Cough and Lung troubles. have
perhaps the largest sale OF any medicines
in the world. The advantage OF increased
size of the hotties will be greatly appreci-
ated by the sick and afflicted in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles, for 10 cents. remain the same size.

THE Executive Committee of the strik-
ing carmen in San Francisco has passed a
resolution declaring that Sites, arrested
for attempting to place dynamite "bomb,"
is innocent, and that the action of the
police authorities is an outrageous plot to
cast odium upon the strikers, etc. Really,
this is trial before arraignment, and if
anything, damages Sites case, for it is too
hasty rush to pronounce innocent man
taken under the most suspicious of cir
cumstances. If the carmen, as they pro-
fess, are so anxious to have the perpetra-
tors of the dynamite outrages arrested and
punished, why cannot they wait until the
proofs against Sites have been marshaled
in the proper tribunal? Their haste, to
say the least, is suspicious.

THE legislative committee having in
charge the proposition to legalize hydraulic
mining-for that is what the bill amounts
to-is told that the inhibition against
| washing the mountains into the streams
puts the mold of decay upon vast indus
tries. That may be true, but who can an
swer the proposition-thatis fact-that the
prosecution now of such industries, accord
ing to primal methods, wrongfully adopted
in the first place, win put the mold of de-
cay and the mark Of ruin upon vast valley
industries? We are told that the matter,
save that carried in suspension, can be re-
strained. But it is precisely this suspen-
sorry matter that does the mischief. Rocks
and powders have not choked the naviga-
bic streams as yet, or flowed over agri-
cultural lands along them, or transformed
the Sacramento river, once bearing on its
bosom deep-laden ships, into stream for
shallow scows and lighters. Reverse the
proposition restrain the matter carried in
suspension, and let the rocks come down,
and the damage would be a hundred-fold
less. No one in the valley wishes the
miners to take harm by any deprivation,
nor do any of the valley wish to take
harm that the miners may not be deprived
If the Senator who eNGbimed that he
wanted wisdom to evolve bill satisfactory
to both sections, will discover and promul-
gate such scheme, he will earn the graf
itude of the people, win the acclaim of en-
gineering science and accomplish a work
beside which all other great achievements
will sink into insignifcance. Until then ;
until he or some one else achieves this feat,
the opposition of the valley to the mat
ter carried in suspension" must be re-
spected, for it is fortified by evidence

cup that cheers for a glass of water at the
